On Saturday night, after we'd been to town, Aesha and Kirsty decided to sleep at mine. It was a chance for us to have a girly night in together and catch up on any gossip. Kirsty was sitting on my bed, inspecting her new piercing. "It looks really pretty," I told her from my position on my bean bag. I fiddled nervously with the corner of my purple fluffy cushion. "Do you think it suits me?" she asked. I nodded and Aesha turned around from where she was looking through my DVD collection. "It looks great. You do realise that you haven't stopped asking us since you got it done about 5 hours ago."she snapped. Kirsty sighed. "Emma's thing looks cuter." I smiled to myself. "I want to see it again," she pouted. I shook my head and stood up. "It's still a bit red and sore," I told her as I lifted up the bottom of my t-shirt slightly. "So, it's still really sweet and groovy," Aesha told me. I turned around and looked over my shoulder at it in the mirror. While Kirsty had been getting her belly button pierced, I'd fallen in love with a tattoo that I could get done at the same place. As the woman thought we were all 18, she did it for me, considering that you didn't need an appointment on Saturdays. It was a black design at the base of my spine. Nothing too intricate, nothing too simple. It was just right. I'd wanted a tattoo for so long bujt had never really found the right time to get it done. "Do you think Matt will like it?" Kirsty asked, as she ran her finger over it lightly. Matt was one thing I hadn't really thought about when I was getting it done. "I dunno," I replied. "I think he will, he's always said how he wants to get one done. I doubt he'll have any objections to me getting one." I sat back on my beanbag and Aesha put one of my Foo Fighters CDs on. "You know, for some reason, I could always tell that you two were going to get together," she said as she sat on my inflatable chair. "Why's that?" I asked her. She shrugged. "I agree," Kirsty added. "You always just seemed so sweet when you were friends. Plus, you always seemed so touchy feely," "Yeah but that was friendly touchy feely," I protested. "Yeah and everyone knows that friendly touchy feely with a straight man is a form of flirting." "I never thought of it like that," "So how are things going between you two at the moment?" Kirsty asked. I smiled. "They're great," "Have you gone further with him?" Aesha asked. "In what respect?" "She means, have you slept with him?" Kirsty laughed. Aesha put a shock of horror on her face and I laughed as well. These two were my best friends and if I couldn't confide in them then who could I confide in? That's why I had no problems spilling the beans. Also, I thought to myself, I'd told James and I didn't know him as well as I knew these two. "Have you?" Kirsty asked again. Both looked at me waiting for my answer. I bit my bottom lip and nodded slowly. "Oh my god!" Aesha shreiked. "Okay, now is the perfect time to have a girly chat!" Kirsty added, getting comfy. "You don't expect me to tell you the whole story do you!" I grinned. "Well spare us the gory parts but we want to know everything!" Kirsty said excitedly. I shook my head, unsure on how much to tell them. "Well, we were just kissing, I told him I wanted to go further and then we went upstairs together. I'm not telling you anymore than that." I told them. "When was this?" Aesha asked me. I sighed. "The night before he left." "Aww, that's so sweet," Suddenly the phone rang. "Do you want me to get it?" Kirsty asked. I nodded and she leaned over. "Hello?" A grin formed on her face. "It's Kirsty, we've just been discussing you," she giggled. "Yeah, she's here," she said, looking at me. "I'll hand you over." She held the phone out to me. "It's lover boy," she told me, as I took the phone off of her. "Hello?" I said putting it to my ear," "What was that about?" came Matt's voice from the other end. I smiled. "Nothing. I have Kirsty and Aesha over. Kirsty was just closer to the phone." "Oh right, so how have you been?" he asked. "I've been missing you," "I know, I've been missing you too. Some stupid tart started to try and chat me up today. She was only about 12." "Bless, what did you say to her?" "I said that I had a really nice girlfriend back home who wouldn't been too happy if she heard that's she'd been hitting on me. That didn't stop her so I told her that I was about to be a dad. I think that scared her off," "I suppose you didn't tell her that your girlfriend and the mother of your baby were different people," "Nah, but I don't think it mattered, I still got rid of her," he laughed. I couldn't help but feel upset about all the talk of babies that kept going on. Matt was going to be heartbroken if my inkling turned out to be the truth. "Are you alright?" he asked, "You sound a bit off," "No, I'm fine, I just want you to be here for half term this week. We could have spent it together," "I know, I should be back on Friday, hopefully." "What do you mean, hopefully?" "Well, y'know, flights get delayed all the time." "I suppose." I was interuppted by Aesha and Kirsty making loud kissing noises. "Are you still in the same room as them?" Matt giggled. "Yeah, unfortunately," "Shit, I have to go. We're going out to some shitty restaurant," "Okay, I'll talk to you later," "Yeah, love you," "Love you too," "Bye," he said quietly. The dialling tone came on the line and I placed the phone back in the cradle. I sat on my bed and wiped my eye. "Hun, what's the matter?" Kirsty asked, scooting over to me and putting a comforting arm around me. I looked at her. I'd told the both of them about my Jennifer theory earlier in the day. "He keeps talking about this baby and I need him back here." I sobbed. "It's going to break his heart,"

Without Matt there, I managed to have a very uneventful half term. No matter who I spoke to and how long for, I never seemed to be able to sort my problems out. I managed to drag myself out of my unhappiness on the saturday before we went back to college. James and Charlie had invited me to go to the park with them and I'd invited Kirsty and Aesha along so they could get to know each other. With it being March it was still quite chilly but at least the sun was shining. "Emma, lover boy is going to be back soon, there is no need to keep moping around," Charlie smiled. I rolled over to face him from my lying down position on the grass. "I know, but I'm still allowed to miss him, aren't I?" Charlie didn't reply, he just grinned. I rolled back onto my back and shut my eyes. I could hear the others luaghing and talking still but I just wanted to shut myself off from it all. Suddenly, I felt a pair of hands over my eyes and someone climbed on my stomach. I shreiked out and tried to sit up. "Guess who?" came the all too familiar male voice. The guy planted a kiss on my lips and I burst into a grin. "Matt!" I shreiked. I threw my arms around him and he fell backwards, laughing. "Oh my god, I've missed you so much," "I know, I've missed you too," he kissed me again. I looked at him properly. He had a slight tan and looked even more gorgeous than he did when he left me that morning two weeks ago. "How are you guys?" he asked the others. They all nodded happily. I sat myself in Matt's lap and leaned back happily. "Hang on," he said, pushing me back up. He ran a finger across the bottom of my back and pushed my black hoodie up slightly. I braced myself for an explosion from him. "What's that?" he asked. "A.... um..... A tattoo." I mumbled. "When did you get that?" he asked, still running his finger back and forth acroos it. "Last weekend. I'm sorry I went behind your back and everything," I apologised. "Don't be, it suits you," "Do you think?" he nodded. "So you like it?" he nodded again. "It's lovely." I smiled and leant back on his chest. "Do you fancy leaving this lot and going back to mine?" he whispered. "Everyone else at my house has gone to see my nan. I managed to skive out of it," I nodded. "We're gonna go guys," I told the rest, pulling myself up. There were murmurs of , 'Okay' and, 'See You Later'. Matt took my hand and he walked me back to his house. "You know, I wish you'd come with us on holiday. It would have been so cool just to chill out together by the pool everyday. I felt so lonely. Except for the little kids of course." He smiled and opened the door to let me in. I walked in to the hallway, dodging the suitcases lining it. Matt walked in the door and then dragged me through into the lounge. He sat down and pulled me on top of him. I took his chin in my hands and kissed him passionatley. His hands moved to my back and rubbed up and down slowly. He slid his tongue in my mouth and I tilted my head so I could deepen the kiss. The kiss was slow and it felt really good to be back in Matt's arms. Matt finished the kiss with a series of quick kisses and pushed me up. I smiled at him and held my hair out of my face. "I brought you a present back," he smiled, reaching into his back pocket. He produced a smalle ring box and flicked it open. In the foam sat a silver ring, studded with little diamonds. He picked it out and took my right hand. "Matt, it's gorgeous," I smiled. "You have to wear it everyday," he told me whilst sliding it along my index finger. I held my hand closer to inspect it more. "I'm never going to take it off," I replied. I kissed him again, softly. We were interrupted by the doorbell ringing. Matt sighed, lifted me off of him and stood up. "I'll be back in a minute," he smiled. I nodded and sat back. I heard him open the door and I heard a girl's voice. It was Jennifer. "Hi Matt, I came by for my next lot of money." I could hear her in her annoying voice. "I'll just get it for you," that was Matt. I heard him walk up the stairs and thought that now was going to be the best time to confront her. Especially seeing as Matt was here. I walked out into the hallway and saw her standing on the doorstep. "Oh, so you're here, she spat," I nodded. "Matt is my boyfriend afterall." I smirked. "Oh and you think that bothers me?" she smirked back. "I'm having Matt's baby. I'm more worried about that than which little whore he decides to date. He's going to make a great father, I'm sure that you'll become yesterdays news when the baby is born," she said quietly, presumably so Matt didn't hear. "Except, you're not ever going to give birth are you Jennifer. I expect that in the next couple of months you're going to hav an oh so tragic miscarriage aren't you. Except, it's not going to be tragic is it, because you're not fucking pregnant!" I screamed. I grabbed her hair and pushed her onto the front lawn. She screamed and fell backwards, still clutching her head. "I can't believe you're doing this to him," I shouted, lifting my foot up, ready to kick her. After what she did to me, I had no problems in quite literally beating the shit out of her. "He won't ever believe you though. You might be his new girlfriend but he still cares for me a hell of a lot more. Why do you think he slept with me the week before he went away. Even though I told him I was pregnant, he was still so eager to get me into bed." Anger flowed throughout my body and I resist the urge to kick her. Afterall, I thought, that would make me as bad as her. "You lying bitch!" I screamed. I pulled her up and hit her round the face. I did it repeatedly until I felt a pair of hands grab my arms and pull me backwards.

"Emma, what the fuck are you doing?" Matt shouted at me. "She's fucking lying to you, Matt," "Ignore her Matt, she's crazy," Jennifer piped up. I kept my gaze fixed firmly on her. Matt motioned for Jennifer to shut up. "What is she lying about?" he asked me calmly. "Everything," I sobbed. "Oh, whatever," Jennifer sighed, rolling her eyes. "She's just jealous because I'm having your baby and she's not," she carried on. I pushed Matt, who was still holding onto my arms, away and lunged at her again. "You are screwed, you know that," I screamed at her. "STOP IT" Matt shouted. He pulled me off of Jennifer and shoved me into the house. "Stay there," he shouted at me. He walked over to Jennifer and handed her an envelope. "Look you better go, I'll talk to you later," he said to her. She nodded and walked out the front gate, sneering at me as she did so. Matt walked back over to me, face of thunder. "You and me need to have a serious chat," he said, grabbing my arm, slamming the door and dragging me to the staircase. He sat me down on the second step and stood infront of me. "What the hell did you think you were playing at?" he asked me angrily. "Matt, she's lying to you about everything," "How dare you lay into the girl that is pregnant with my baby?" "She is not pregnant with your baby!" I yelled. Matt snorted. "Then who's baby is she pregnant with? I know you don't like her but you have no right to do that to her," "You don't get it do you?" I said, standing up. "She's not pregnant with anyone's baby, she's not pregnant. She's lying to you to get your money." "You know, that is some accusation to make considering you have no evidence." "I have evidence," I shouted. "How many months gone is she?" "About 3 or 4," "And I take it she's shown you the scan pictures has she? You know, the 12 week scan that would have been done about 3 or 4 weeks ago" "Maybe she hasn't had the scan yet, she hasn't even mentioned one. You can have scans at different times you know," he replied. "And isn't it a bit funny that she still hasn't put any weight on," "Look Emma, I don't know what your problem is, but you were never the jealous type and I never thought you'd stoop this low. When will you see that she is not lying?" "And I take it she's not lying about you two sleeping together. The week before you went away. The same week that I so stupidly gave my virginity to you." "What?" "She told me, that she slept with you, the week before you went away," I said calmly. "Now is she lying or are you?" "Look, I didn't sleep with her okay? I went around her house, I fell asleep on her bed and she started to try it on with me but I promise you, I told her where to go." I shook my head. "You see, why should I believe you if you won't believe me?" "Because you're spouting a load of shit. Why can't you just be happy for me. I want this baby, and yeah, it might not have the mother that I want it to have but I am so happy that I'm going to be it's father. If you can't accept that then you're a worse person than I thought." I shut my eyes and slapped him hard around the face. "How fucking dare you?" I screamed. "You know I was happy for you, at least I was until I found out the lies she's been telling. You know what, the jokes on you. She is taking you for a complete mug and you're just going along with it. She spent all of the last money you gave her on designer stuff and I expect that she'll go and spend all of this lot on even more designer stuff." I shouted. "And do you know what? I hope she does. I hope that she wipes that smug little grin off of your face. I'm not the only one who can see through her, infact, you're in the minority. You just need to open your eyes and take a look around." "You know what, I don't have to listen to this shit, just get the fuck out of my house!" He bellowed. "With pleasure. And just for the record, I never thought you'd pick that slut over me. WE'RE OVER!" I yelled. I opened the front door and stopped in the doorway. I turned back and pulled the ring he'd given me off of my index finger. "You can have your shitty ring back as well," I threw the ring at him, flounced out of the door and slammed it shut behind me. As I stood outside the front door, trying to take in what had just happened, I burst into tears again. Putting my hand to my head, I ran home before Matt or anyone else saw me like this.
This will get happier, eventually, I promise!!!!

The next day on the way to college, James caught up with me. It reminded me of the first day Matt was away. "So how what did you two get up to after you left us yesterday?" he smiled. I shut my eyes, wrapped my arms further round myself and carried on walking silently. "Oh, like that was it? What happened?" he asked. "That stupid bitch's plan has worked. She's won him back." I sniffled. "Who? Jennifer? Jennifer and Matt are back together?" he asked. I shrugged. "Dunno and quite frankly, I don't care. She's welcome to him," "What? You're gonna have to explain this to me," he said, putting a hand on my arm to bring me back so I was level with him. "She came round last night to get more money off of Matt for the 'baby'. While he was getting it, I confronted her. Okay, I was a bit heavy handed but I was so angry James, she's just laughing at him behind his back." "I know but, carry on," "She told me that she slept with Matt while she was pregnant and while he was going out with me so I lashed out at her again. Matt came down and saw what was going on. I told him that she was lying and she said that I was crazy. Matt just handed the money over and told her to go and then dragged me inside the house. He started having a massive go at me for beating up the girl who's pregnant with his baby then told me that everything I was telling him was a pile of shit. He told me to get out of the house so I did and then I told him it was over and that was it." "Wow, that's some break up," he said. I smiled weakly. "But you must still have some feelings for him, don't you?" I thought. "Do you know what? I really don't. I really couldn't care less. I never thought he'd pick her over me and I never thought I'd hear him say some of the things he said last night. You only really get to see the real side to a person until you date them." "He really believed her over you?" James asked. I nodded sadly. "Maybe he doesn't believe her. Maybe he wants this baby so much he doesn't want to say your right but he knows deep down you are." I shrugged. "I don't care anymore. It's up to him what he does." By now we were at the gates of college. I saw Matt walk past with Jennifer. His face was white and his eyes were red. He looked like how I felt. "Do you really not love him anymore?" James asked. I thought about it. I was expecting there to be some hesitation or something inside of me that wanted to just kiss him but there wasn't. "I really don't, but I still feel weird." "Well it will take some time for your body to accept that your not dating each other anymore." James told me. I took another look at Matt. He now had his tounge shoved firmly down Jennifer's throat. I don't know what happened to her last boyfriend, although she does get through them at the speed of light. "I'm sorry James, I can't do this," I turned and ran away from the college, away from everyone. When I reached my house, I let myself in and ran up to my bedroom. I stepped over the remnants of glass that were lying over the floor next to a picture frame. I'd thrown the picture of me and Matt against the wall in a state of anger the night before. I chucked my bag down and fell down on my bed. I looked down at the floor and picked up the actual photo. I looked at it and resisted the urge to tear it up into lots of little pieces. I put it in my bedside drawer and lay backwards. Through my sobs, I tried to work out why I had taken it so badly. Afterall, it'd been me who split up with him and me who said I didn't love him anymore. James' theory must have been right. Even though I was hysterical, I managed to drift off to sleep.

Everyone found it hard to be around me and Matt once they heard about us. James and Charlie still spoke to me but felt they couldn't speak to me too much incase they upset Matt. It was the same for Kirsty and Aesha. I felt sorry for James, it was his birthday coming up and he desperatly wanted to do something where all six of us were involved. Eventually, I told him that if he wanted to invite me and Matt, I was fine with it. Afterall, It'd only be for a couple of hours. In order to stop any excessive arguments, James kept the party at his house. On the night that we were going over, I got ready on my own. I pulled my beige cords on and put a white tank top on over my black bra. I sat down infront of the mirror and started to apply my make up. After I'd put my last coat of mascara on, I put in some earrings and put a headband into my hair. I walked down stairs, putting on some lipgloss as I did and sat on the bottom step. I put the lipgloss in my back pocket and pulled my Vans over to me. I stuffed the luminous pink laces inside and put them on my feet. As if on cue, the doorbell rang. "I'll get it," I shouted. I stood up and opened it to show Kirsty and Aesha standing on the other side. "Hi guys," I smiled. I picked up my phone and some money and stuffed them into my pockets. "I'll see you later mum, I'll be at James' house if you need me. I've put the phone number next to the phone." I shouted. "Okay love, have a nice time," my mum shouted back. I picked up the present I'd got James and stepped out of the door, shutting it behind me. "You look nice tonight," Kirsty told me as we walked along the road. I smiled. "I take it you're not doing it for anyone in particular," she smiled. I shook my head. "Me and Matt are not getting back together," I told her. "Why?" Aesha asked. "Everyone knows you two are made for each other." "We obviously aren't otherwise we wouldn't have broken up. Some of the things he said really upset me and I don't know if I can forgive him." I sighed. "Well, you can at least try," "I don't know if I want to." We walked into James street and I stopped the other two. "Look, I don't want you to act all awkward around me and Matt. Yeah, we have a problem with each other but it doesn't have to affect either of you. Plus, whatever you do, no matchmaking. Not with Matt, Not with James and Not with Charlie, understood?" They both nodded and we walked up to James' front door. I knocked and could hear people laughing from inside. James flung the door open and smiled when he saw us. "Hi," he smiled. As each of us walked in, he hugged us. "Happy birthday," I said as I handed him his present. "Cheers!" he gushed and led us into the lounge. Charlie was sitting on the floor, looking through the collection of DVD's and Matt was sitting on the sofa, shouting orders for which DVD to pick up. Both looked up when we walked in the room. Charlie stood up when he saw us. "How are you?" he asked as he pulled me towards him and hugged me. "I'm fine," I said as we pulled apart. Charlie moved on to hug Kirsty as I stood and sort of nervously waved at Matt. "Hi," I said quietly. "Hey," he replied in the same hushed tone. I saw James walking over to the breakfast bar and followed him over. I sat at one of the stalls and he stood on the other side. "It's really not that great a present," I told him as he took another swig from his beer bottle. He placed the bottle down and picked the present up. "It's a really weird shape," he smiled. "I wanna know what it is," "Well open it then!" He grinned and ripped the wrapping paper off in one quick movement, then gasped at the contents. "What is it Jay?" Charlie asked, walking over. He turned it around. "A Michael Jackson action figure!" he shouted. Charlie laughed at his response. "It's from the Thriller video as well. Where did you get it?" he asked me, ripping the packaging open. "You know the comic book shop in the town centre," James nodded. "I told the guy everything you liked and he picked this out for me. You like it?" James nodded wildly. "I fucking love it. Thank you," He walked round the breakfast bar to me and gave me another massive hug. "And now, I have a present for you," he grinned. "What's that?" James walked over to the fridge and pulled it open. "Lot's of booze!" I smiled and got up. "Just help yourself to whatever you want. It all has to go before my mum gets back. She doesn't know quite how much my dad got for me." I picked up an Orange Bacardi Breezer and opened it with the bottle opener lying on the side. "Girlies, you better get some drinks," I shouted over to Kirsty and Aesha. As they ran over to get some drinks, I sat down in the armchair. Matt looked at me nervously and I flashed him a smile. He smiled and then quickly looked away. At least I wasn't the only one finding the situation a little bit uncomfortable. "So what are the plans for tonight?" I asked. Charlie fell back down on the floor and picked up his beer bottle. "We were gonna watch a film, eat loads of junk food shit and then piss about. Then we planned to crash out later on." I nodded. "Sounds like a good plan." James walked over to us and dropped lots of bags and boxes down. "Right, we have, Crisps, sweets, chocolate, biscuits, cakes, popcorn, and most importantly...." he straightened up and held up a blue box, "... Jaffa cakes!" "James, you're the only one out of all of us that eats Jaffa cakes!" Matt smiled. "I know mate, that's exactly what I thought to myself when I bought them." James sat next to Matt, ripped the box open and started absent mindedly eating the contents. "So what film are we watching?" Charlie asked. "Put 28 Days Later on, I love that film," James mumbled, whilst stuffing another Jaffa cake in his mouth. Charlie nodded, took the disk out of the box, placed it on the disk tray and pushed it into the machine. "Lights!" James shouted. Aesha reached up from the other armchair and flicked the lights off, plunging the whole room into darkness. "James, it might be your birthday but we never agreed to become your slaves." I said. "I know, but it was worth a try, don't you think."

This part has a dodgy part in it.....
All through the film, I kept my eyes fixed firmly on Matt. The light from the screen shone across his face and he pulled his knee up, wrapping an arm around it. He put the tip of his thumb in his mouth and chewed on it nervously, trying to keep his concentration on the film's storyline. Once or twice, he'd looked over at me and we'd nervously smiled at each other before diverting our gaze back on the screen. On numerous scary moments, I'd wanted to have Matt sitting next to me, protecting me. It was weird when, in my head, I told myself that Matt was now my ex. I still felt unbelieveably close to him, like there was some feelings that hadn't quite been demolished. The screen went black and the end titles slowly rolled up the screen. Aesha flicked the lights back on and everyone shot back into action. Except for Charlie, who had decided to lay infront of the TV to watch the film. He'd moved from his position on his side to lay fully on his back. "What's up with Charlie?" James asked, as he carried six beer bottles into the kitchen and pulled two more out of the fridge. "He's asleep," I told him, sitting more upright in the chair. "Seriously?!" James smiled. "Totally," James grinned and walked over, handing one of the beer bottles to Matt. He then took his beer bottle, tipped it up slightly and pured some of the contents on Charlie's face. Charlie shot up, wiped a hand over his face and scowled at James. "What did you do that for?" he asked groggily. "I was waking you up, the fun is gonna start soon. Everyone's starting to get more pissed so it's more amusing," James laughed, moving the table out of the way. "Guys, I'm going outside for a fag, I'll be back in in a minute. You lot carry on without me." Matt pulled a packet of Marlboro Lights out of one pocket and a lighter that I'd given him for his birthday out of the other and quietly made his way out of the door, taking his beer with him. Everyone sort of stood in silence. "Do you think he's okay?" Charlie asked, shaking his head to get the last bits of beer off. "I dunno, he seems a bit down. I'll go and check on him," James said, making his way to the door. The other four of us nodded and let him go. "So what are we going to do when James gets back?" Charlie asked, picking up some empty bags and stuffing them in the bin. "How about Truth and Dare, that's always good when you're tipsy," Kirsty suggested. We all nodded in agreement and I went to fetch an empty bottle. We sat in a circle and I put the empty bottle down in the centre. I then took a swig from my 4th Bacardi Breezer of the night. "Let's start without James, he can join in when he gets back," Charlie said, spinning the bottle, it landed on himself. "Truth or dare Charlie?!" I grinned. "Uh, Truth," "Right, would you ever kiss a bloke?" I asked, still grinning madly. Charlie shook his head. "I wouldn't if I was concious but if I was drunk, I wouldn't have much control over the matter would I?" he replied. "My go," he spun the bottle and it landed on me. "Emma!" he smiled, "Truth or Dare?" "Truth. I know what your dares are like and they usually involve someone getting naked." He smiled devilishly. "Right, is Matt as well endowed as he says he his?" "CHARLIE!" Me, Aesha and Kirsty all shouted at the same time, all for completely different reasons. Mine being that I couldnt believe he'd asked the question, the other twos being that they thought he'd hit a nerve. "What?!" he smiled. "Are you trying to tell me that you lot discuss sizes?" I asked, disgusted. "No............." he trailed off and his cheeks went slightly pink. "So, quite blatently, yes you do," I smiled. "So what, that wasn't the question. You picked truth so you have to answer." Charlie grinned back. "How much does he say he is?" I asked, to moans of disgust from the other two. "8 inches," "Guys please," Aesha begged, face screwed up in disgust. "No way is he 8 inches," I told Charlie. "I knew it!" Charlie grinned. "Really, stop it," Kirsty pleaded. "How much is he then?" Charlie asked, obviously out to prove some sort of point. "Emma, you really don't have to answer that," Aesha told me. "Maybe 6, but definatley not 8," "Look, okay guys, point proven lets leave it at that." Kirsty told us, pushing the bottle towards me. "Now spin it!" I pushed the bottle back to the centre and spun it, just as James walked in the door, a huge grin plastered on his face. "What's up with you?" I asked, ignoring the fact that the bottle was facing Kirsty. "Nothing. Matt's gonna be back in in a moment," he told us, sitting in between me and Aesha. As he said that the door opened again and Matt let himself in. "Hi guys," he grinned, sitting down in between Kirsty and Charlie. Charlie, who was opposite me, grinned. I shook my head and looked at Kirsty. "The bottle's facing you my dear so is it gonna be Truth or Dare?" "Dare," she replied. I got up, opened a bottle of beer and handed it to her. "Down that in one go," I told her, sitting back down. She nodded and, after much cheering from the boys, she succeeded. She chucked the empty bottle away and then spun the bottle. I landed on me again. "This bottle really hates me," I giggled. Kirsty shrugged. "Truth or Dare, Emma?" "Um, Dare," I said, quickly scolding myself for picking that. Kirsty grinned devilishly. "Lick Charlie's foot," she laughed. I screwed my face up. "Urgh, that's disgusting, you can't expect me to do that," I moaned. "It's a dare so I can expect you to do whatever I like. Chaz, get one of your feet out." Had I been sober, it would have been at this point that I would refuse point blank and stop playing. However this time, the alcohol running through my system forced me to stay and carry out the dare. Charlie held his foot out and, screwing my face up in disgust, I ran my tongue quickly up the sole of his foot. I pulled back and make a heaving motion. Charlie laughed and put his sock back on. "My feet are lovely Emma, don't deny it." I shook my head. "No they're not, I think I'm going to be sick!" I got up and ran out of the roomand into the downstairs bathroom. Once there, I fell down on the floor and sat. I needed to get away from the others for a little while. Matt had definatley been awkward around me and for some strange reason, I couldn't help but think that I'd been flirting with Charlie. I put my hand to my head. Maybe me and Charlie hadn't been flirting, maybe it was just the alcohol making me think we had. Maybe, to an outsider, it would have been classed as being friendly. Although nowadays, girls aren't allowed to talk to boys without having it classed as flirting of some sort. In a way, I just wanted Matt to hug me, or talk to me or do something to show that he still classed me as a friend. When I thought I'd made enough of a point, I flushed the unused loo and returned to the lounge. "You okay?" Aesha asked as I re-entered. I nodded and fell down on the settee behind James. "You carry on, I'm going to sit out," I told them, lying down on my side. I watched as they carried on the game and the Dares and the Truth questions became more outrageous. My eyes flickered to Matt briefly and it was then that I realised I was kidding myself when I said I didn't love him anymore. Or my feelings for him were still there and I desperatley wanted him to feel the same way about me. With the thoughts of Matt swirling around my head, I slowly drifted off to sleep. My thoughts carried over into my dreams and I couldn't think of anything else but Matt. Since the two of us had split up, things had definatley been harder. I'd been having more arguments with my mum and I'd become less outgoing. I now preferred to just sit in my bedroom listening to my music or watching my TV. I still knew deep down, that Jennifer was lying to Matt but just couldn't think of a way to get him to realise. I was woken up from my sleep by a soft jolt. My eyes squinted and I could see the whole living room was now in darkness. I must have been asleep for ages because I could see the bodies of Charlie and James sprawled out on the floor, fast asleep. I looked up at the guy who'd picked me up and recognised the face as Matt's. He carried me up the stairs and into James' brothers room, unaware that I was awake. I kept my eyes shut to try and pretend to be asleep. He pulled the cover back on the bed with one hand, placed me down and pulled the cover back over me. To finish everything off, he leant down and kissed my forehead, whispering, 'I Love You' as he did so. My heart skipped a beat and I inwardly smiled. I felt him sigh and stand up and heard the door open really slowly. "Matt," I called out, before he left the room. "Uh huh," he replied, stopping in the doorway. "Don't go," I whispered to him, sitting up in the bed. "Do you think that's a good idea?" he asked me, a nervous tone coming through in his voice. "Matt, we might not be dating but we used to be best friends, can't we at least try and be civil, y'know, go back to how it used to be." There was a pause from him. and I heard the door shut. In the dark, I saw him walk back over and I lifted up the duvet to allow him to climb next to me. After I dropped it over him, I wrapped my arms around his stomach and nestled into his chest, he snaked his arm around my shoulders, pulling me closer. From now on, I decided, the only way for me and Matt to go, was up.

This fic is starting to appear endless!!!!!!
There's about four sections still to go but 2 of them are really short.
I really want to start the next one now...... the sequel to Tempting Fate even has me excited.
AND NOW, AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM THE (lovely!) AUTHOR OF THIS FIC!!!!!! I, Emma Kirsty Hodge, would like to apologise to all readers for the conversation regarding certain parts of certains peoples anatomys between Emma and Charlie in the previous part of this fic. I would like to point out that this part was written after England beat Croatia 4-2 and therefore I was in an extremely hyper mood. ;D ;D
